Samaritan's Purse confirms seven Americans are in Ebola quarantine in Kenya

Samaritan's Purse, the Christian organization based in the United States and behind an Ebola response initiative in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has confirmed to Citizen TV that seven of its American employees who had been responding to the Ebola outbreak in the DRC have been in Kenya for the past five days. The seven are on a 21-day quarantine at the controversial U.S.-backed bio-isolation facility at Laikipia Air Base in Nanyuki. The humanitarian organization's President and CEO, Franklin Graham, says he spoke to them by phone two days ago as they await clearance to return to the United States after completing the mandatory quarantine under the latest U.S. protocols. The Kenyan government has remained silent, even after a court order directed the suspension of activities at the military airbase.
